[drafted by Dana] A study to examine the effects of fertilizer addition on damselfish behavior was conducted in June and July 2025 in Mo'orea, French Polynesia. As part of a before-after control impact (BACI) experiment, algal turf samples from damselfish territories were sampled both before and after the experiment and analyzed for biomass and elemental composition.
This dataset is part of a larger study of the coral reef ecosystem in Mo’orea, French Polynesia that examines mechanisms governing interactions between damselfish, corals, and turf algae. The different analyses from the broader study are listed here, with links to these associated data in the 'Related Datasets' section below.
